Just got back and wanted to throw out a little piece of info I saw while I was there.
On the TV at the Poly, there was the usual resort television info, including a constantly scrolling list of info about resort times, events, points of interest, etc. One thing caught my eye. It said that if you now had the option of trading in a TS credit for a "Quick Service" meal (CS to us), and you would also receive either an additional TWO snack credits -OR- a lanyard with trading pins.
I theorize the overbooking on the free DDP had caused a lot of angry people who had not made adequate ADR's, and were being forced to use their TS at CS locations. This was a way to appease them. I wonder if it worked... It was just a blip on the screen, and the few people I ended up chatting with on this trip about the DDP didn't seem to know about this. So it wasn't widely advertised by any stretch. I also wonder if this is an ongoing offer, or if it was just related to the free DDP promotion going on now causing extra crowds.
We also found it funny that there was a page that said if you had not made any dining reservations yet, to contact your concierge right away to make plans. I bet the concierge's had to deal with a lot of upset people, as well. ICK!
Anyway, just a bit of fresh info!
